And I bawled some more...

I took the memory card from my camera to upload pictures onto my blog.  To my dismay, the card couldn't be read on my computer. I put it back into the camera. No luck.  All of my pictures were GONE!  I cried, and then I bawled.

I called Brandon, and bawled some more. 
I called my dad, and bawled some more.
Then I called my brother, and bawled some more.

Dustin came and tried to retrieve the images from the card.  As we drove to our ward party, Dustin called to say that after lots of tried and using various programs, he couldn't get any pictures off the camera.  So as we reached the church parking lot, I let it all out... and bawled some more.  I told Brandon, "If I am this upset over pictures of our children (including all of Xander's pictures at birth and first 2 weeks of life), can you imagine how upset I would be if something happened to one of our children, and not just a picture?"  Not a happy thought.

After the ward party, we went to Dustin and Kala's to pick up the memory card.  After showing me a few pictures he had taken at the hospital, he magically pulled up the pictures from my camera!  I wanted to scream at him!  But being so excited that he did get the pictures off, I again, bawled some more... 

This one is my favorite!  One week old.

Dear beautiful Forsters, We just finished reading your blog and seeing the photos of all of you. It is so very precious. All of the details of the pre-delivery and the delivery are interesting to read and now you have them recorded forever. You are an amazon women Stephanie. I guess that's a compliment. It's meant to be.
We are so sory that we won't be at the blessing and celebration afterward. We remember how much we enjoyed the fun at your parents in Brigham after Izzy's blessing.
Is there any way that we, or you can print off some of these photos so I can frame them and display them and brag on them? If that is possible I will tell you which ones we especially like.
We wil be calling you on Monday p.m. or Tuesday a.m. so we can plan to meet you at our favorite "golden" place for lunch on Tuesday. With our love and congratulations!
We are bringing the Wonder Horse for Isabela. Is that still O.K.? I don't think that Stephanie was with us when I asked you about it, Brandon.
LOL, Vilda and Merlin
